Thus, the Service opened to historians, teachers and students the archive materials relating to Carpathian Ukraine.

– We must preserve the memory and disclose the details of all stages of the struggle of Ukrainians for their independence, therefore the Security Service gives researchers an opportunity to study the documents that we keep, – the Head of the Security Service of Ukraine said.

Associate Professor of Uzhgorod University Ivan Chavarha in turn handed the archives of the Service a handwritten copy of the KGB criminal case against the Prime Minister autonomous government of Carpathian Ukraine Augustin Voloshin. The original document is kept at the FSB and Ukrainian researchers have no access to it.
